Christopher Dunn Remains in Prison After a Missouri Judge Ordered His Release
July 23, 2024
The day after St. Louis Circuit Judge Jason Sengheiser overturned Christopher Dunn’s conviction and ordered that he be released immediately, Dunn remains in a Missouri prison.
Dunn, 54, a St. Louis native convicted of murder and assault in 1991, has spent 33 years locked away for what Sengheiser determined was a wrongful conviction based largely on the testimony of two boys, ages 12 and 14. The witnesses later recanted, saying they were coerced by police and prosecutors.
